Les Bottes Rouges Arbois Blanc 'Leon'

The palate is bright, tensile, and quietly wild, opening with green apple, lemon zest, and white peach before moving into a savoury, slightly oxidative‑mineral core that is unmistakably Bottes Rouges. Acidity is crisp and linear, giving the wine lift and a sense of alpine freshness, while the texture is silky with a faint waxy glide, carrying the domaine’s signature low‑intervention purity. Notes of grapefruit pith, bruised apple skin, hazelnut shell, and crushed stone add nuance without tipping the wine into heaviness. The mid‑palate is taut, lightly phenolic, and quietly complex, balancing orchard fruit, citrus, and Jura savouriness.
